The ENST00000357077.9(ANK2):āc.341A>Gā(p.Lys114Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000342 in 1,461,272 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (ā ). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K114E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
ANK2 (HGNC:493): (ankyrin 2) This gene encodes a member of the ankyrin family of proteins that link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton. Ankyrins play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation. The protein encoded by this gene is required for targeting and stability of Na/Ca exchanger 1 in cardiomyocytes. Mutations in this gene cause long QT syndrome 4 and cardiac arrhythmia syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 114 of the ANK2 protein (p.Lys114Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ANK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 526938). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ANK2 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
